[1] Incomplete; Trey aborted the song, engaged Fish in some hilarious banter noting that the attempt was "pathetic," and counted off BBFCFM.

Possum included Manteca teases. Simple Gifts was teased briefly by Trey in Weekapaug and BBFCFM, and by Trey and Mike during the Bowie intro. The Bowie intro also included HYHU and Norwegian Wood teases from Page. Llama, Stash, and YEM contained Buried Alive teases from Trey. Trey dedicated Coil to “our friends at Conjunction Junction, who are the only other people we know who can play this song” as well as his parents, who were in attendance. YEM also included Gumbo teases from Mike and later Trey in the vocal jam. GTBT was incomplete; Trey aborted the song, engaged Fish in some hilarious banter noting that the attempt was “pathetic,” and counted off BBFCFM.

Show Reviews

This was a fun show. Mike had a digital LED display atop his amplifier that scrolled the message: "P H I S H 2000". First time I noticed the beginnings of a "lot scene." At least 2 or 3 groups of folks semi-tailgating near the venue.

they even said it was pathetic during the end of the 2nd set... this really threw me off... i had been seeing the dead, neil young, the allmans, etc. and to hear a band declare they were pathetic on the stage was just so out of the ordinary i didn't understand it was meant sarcastically...

ah youth...

fast forward to my next show which was 8 years later at limestone for the lemonwheel and that was where it all began in earnest...

went to the big cypress and some other great ones...

i am an old deadhead and i know that some dislike all that but i just tell it like it is and was... i know now that phish are special but back in the late 80's/early 90's they and i were different i guess and we weren't ready for each other...
